Baked Brie Mustard fruits and walnuts

Baked Brie with mustard fruits and walnuts wraps creamy white mold cheese, like Brie or Camembert, in puff pastry layered with sweet-tart condiments such as quince paste or cranberry sauce and crunchy walnuts. The pastry is brushed with egg yolk mixture for color and flavor, then baked to a golden crust. When served warm, it offers a melty, rich center contrasted by crisp pastry, sweet fruit paste, and nutty texture, ideal as part of a charcuterie or vegetable platter.
